So it is actually happening! A new church, I mean. In December I linked up with Amy Diane Shoemaker, and determined that partnership in this endeavor was a great idea. We held small group conversations in February, and then launched on Sunday, March 2, at InterPlayce in Oakland. Twenty of us had a great time moving, telling stories, singing, doing art, and in general having a wonderful non-churchy improvisational embodied worship service.
Our next gathering will be Sunday, April 6, 5:30pm, at InterPlayce, at the corner of 23rd and Telegraph.
In the meantime, we are putting on a mid-Lenten season renewal retreat for clergy! So if you are a clergy-person and want to:
-
Harness renewed energy to carry you through Easter
-
Gather with fellow clergy to reconnect with sustaining breath
-
Recharge your body, mind, heart and spirit
-
Move, tell your story and explore the grace of God
